SLS Hotels & Residences is set to make its European debut with the opening of SLS Barcelona in December 2024.
The hotel will land in the waterside district of Port Fòrum, offering 471 rooms and suites, six restaurant and bar concepts, three pools, a spa and extensive event spaces.
For the brand’s first foray into Europe, a creative collaboration between AIME Studios, Avroko and Rockwell Group has resulted in spaces that are functional yet flamboyant. SLS design signatures remain throughout, from a dramatic arrival through a light-studded entrance hall to the use of richly textured fabrics and embellishments.
This design narrative extends to the accommodation, which features oversized headboards alongside mirrored glass and warm timber accents, and bathrooms with white marble details, clean white tiling and sculptural mirrors.
Embracing the energy of the city’s culinary scene, SLS Barcelona‘s F&B venues include an all-day Mediterranean restaurant featuring a large wood oven and coal-fired grill; a day-to-night pool bar and club set across one of the largest waterfront rooftops in Barcelona; and a dynamic postmodern-style cocktail bar. A lobby bar and lively pool bar round out the offer.
The property’s meeting and event spaces include an almost 800m² ballroom, flooded with natural light thanks to oversized windows and custom skylights. A dedicated events lobby leads to eight flexible private spaces, which can be hired individually or collectively.
The hotel also features three pools and a wellness centre, while a spa is set to join the offer later in the season.
